A Magical Day in Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast with Angelo - Our day began in Positano, and it felt like we had stepped into a postcard. The views were absolutely breathtaking, with pastel buildings cascading down the cliffs and the crystal-clear water shimmering below. We spent time wandering the charming streets, browsing beautiful boutiques, and soaking in the laid-back yet elegant coastal atmosphere. We all agreed it was one of the most scenic places we’ve ever been and are jealous of those that live there every day!
From there, Angelo—our exceptional guide—took us on an incredible journey through Sorrento. His passion for the region (he was born and raised there!) and depth of local knowledge enriched every moment. One of our favorite stops was a lemon orchard, where Rosa gave us a fantastic tour and tasting. We sampled lemoncello, orange-cello, mandarin-cello, and even black licorice-cello—each one more unique than the last. Of course, we shipped multiple bottles home and couldn’t leave without lemon soap and some unbelievably good lemon gelato.
We also visited Gargiulo, a family-run olive oil producer that crafts over 30 varieties of olive oil. The tasting was generous and delicious, and several bottles are now on their way back to our kitchen. Upstairs in their newly opened restaurant, we had a pizza-making class that was fun, interactive, and truly one of the best parts of our entire trip.
Angelo made everything easy, informative, and personal. His thoughtful guidance and warm personality turned a beautiful itinerary into a truly unforgettable experience. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Allesandro is the best! - We hired JBL to drive us back after dinner later in Positano to Sorrento to our hotel. Our driver Alessandro was incredible! He was safe, so friendly, and we loved talking with him. I would highly recommend JBL and ask for Allesandro, he’s the best!

Absolutely Outstanding Experience - We can’t say enough about our tremendous experience with our service from Joe Banana. Maria, my personal assistant was always there to support and help us if we needed even on her day off. They were absolutely outstanding .
Catello Buonocore (Gabbo!) was our main driver for 10 days and he made our trip so memorable and enjoyable. We did private transfers from Airport to Rome , Sorrento and back to Rome. We did a full day on a private boat with the best skipper, Luigi, to Capri. It was amazing.
We also did a full 8 hour tour of Ravello, Amalfi and Positano. Catello went above and beyond to make us happy and safe. I am not sure the trip would’ve been the same without him or this company! I highly recommend Joe Banana!!! Perfecto!

Magical day along the Amalfi Coast - We had a wonderful experience on our tour with Angelo. He picked us up at our apartment in Rome and was an incredible throughout our day. He showed would drive us to each town, give us some guidance on the best shops or sites we might like to see and then let us wander for a bit before finding us again and making sure we were finding what we wanted to see. He also stopped multiple times along the way to show us amazing vista's, let us take pictures -- take pictures of us all together -- and offer us little tidbits of insider information and knowledge that really contributed to our tour. It was the off-season, and when it was time for lunch and we were looking for a restaurant with gluten-free accommodations for our son, Angelo found us a spectacular option with some of the best food of our entire trip. It was a fantastic experience and both the guide company and Angelo made the experience unforgettable for the entire family!

Amalfi Coast - We used Joe Banana Italy for all of our transportation needs…airport transfers and private tour of the Amalfi Coast. The company is very professional, easy to use website, provides good communication and was reliable. I’d highly recommend.
Daniel was our driver for our arrival in Naples and drive to Sorrento. He was fun, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the sights. We then requested him for our private tour. He showed us many great sights, took pictures for us and gave us great ideas of what to see/ do in each city. Definitely recommend you ask for Daniel!

Fabulous Day Sorrento, Positano with a lunch to remember - We had a tour for the day while on a Mediterranean cruise stop in Naples Italy. Bruno picked us up at the ship as instructed. He was wearing a suit and driving a black SUV which was so comfortable for the day. Bruno explained the area and our first stop was a road side view of the coast and a taste of a cold lemon non alcohol drink from a local vendor. The view was stunning. Then to Sorrento with time to walk, have a cappuccino and shop. Next stop lunch at a wonderful restaurant on the side of the mountain overlooking the Amalfi coast below. The food was delicious served 4 course meal wine, caprese salad, margarita pizza, 3 types of pasta and fruit with gelato for desert followed by limoncello shot and cappuccino to finish. Then to Positano to have time to walk down to the beach, more shopping. A wonderful day, delicious food and the best tour guide Bruno. Best tour! And the tour company kept in touch with us to make sure everything was going well. Worth taking as a private tour. The best on our vacation.

BRUNO CUTRONA- The BEST tour guide with Joe Banana! - I had the honor or having Bruno Cutrona as my driver during my solo tour of Positano, Amalfi and Ravello from Sorrento. Bruno was the perfect gentleman and guide.He is knowledgeable, friendly and has a wealth of information on Italy. At my request he walked with me through the cities and showed me landmarks that I would othewise not have found on my own. We had lunch at a wonderful sea side restaurant between Positano and Amalfi. He is THE BEST! That day was my highlight while visiting Sorrento. We had great conversation and I made a new friend. I would highly recomend Joe Banana and if you can, request Bruno!
